I am a hand quilter who loves designing my own quilts using different colour combinations, fabrics and pushing my limits with quilting designs. I love to challenge myself in all areas and I am taking on more and more different fabric challenges. Buntings are becoming a fun and quick sideline with lots of room for adventure. I also enjoy other crafts and cooking and gardening, this blog is a mix of my life and quilting happenings

Fabulous Friday and sensational Saturday makes me whoop!

Let me tell you why I want to whoop about my Friday and Saturdays achievements. Firstly Friday I decided to clean up all of my fabric. All of my bins were just horrendous and looking like this one above.

After a short time I managed to get them looking like this.

I have sorted the boxes into a box of yardage and three small boxes of fat quarters and smaller usable pieces. Then there are three boxes of scraps which I am going to cut I to 2.5" squares and charm squares. These can then be used for quick quilts or borders.

But look at this little lovely and this would be a great whooping find, I did this in 2004 and all it needs is a border, but I have an idea and may include it in a quilt I am planning on making in the next couple of months.

My other little whoop is this darling little fabric bowl basket, which I have posted to someone who needs a bit of cheer in her life right now.

My sensational Saturday found me outside mowing my lawn and I am finishing the evening off nicely at the hand quilting frame. I am linking this post with Confessions of a fabric addict

Exciting news!

I am announcing a linky which I will be hosting at the last Friday of every month. This will be celebrating the goals I have met and the goals I hope to meet for the future month. I am asking for you to think of what you might like to blog about in this regard and link with me. I am really looking forward to this and so you don't miss out on all of the fun be sure to follow me whichever way you find easiest.
